AUF WIEDERSEHEN FAREWELL TO M.lSS KLEIST You opened up a new and shining land. You pushed our close horizons far beyond The narrow, binding walls. And though we'll feel yor absence, You'll be with us still, For we shall answer when your lofty standard calls. Ruth Birhhaeuser A graduate of old Milwaukee East, Emmy Kleist returned to join the faculty of Riverside, not as a stranger, but as a scholar coming home. She was graduated from the Milwaukee Normal School and the University of Wisconsing she has studied and travelled extensively in Europe. Her courses in German and French were not mere drill sessions for grammar and vocabulary. To her pupils she brought a full, rich personality, she passed them on, with a knowledge of the language, an appreciation of culture, and an enrichment of character. Her fellow faculty members, hoping she would be with them until required to retire, are already counting the too few hours they spent in her cheery, inspiring presence. They are already looking forward to visiting with her in the years of leisure ahead and making up for moments ,lost in the busyness of the past. As the school loses, the community gains. It will now be possible for her to give more freely to the many groups who have heretofore jealously contested for her time. Retire? Not Emmy Kleist! She will be active in the community, she will be wherever teachers or pupils are gathered together, she will be in the hearts of every.- one who has ever come in contact with her. MISS PUELICHER Before graduating from grade school, most of the Riverside students made the acquaintance of Miss Puelicher, who visited the schools, gave tests, and helped arrange programs. , During their time in school the students have continued their association with Miss Puelicher in various ways. Some were called into her oiiice as freshmen to be reprimanded or encouraged as the occasion seemed to demand. Others worked hapf pily with her in the minstrel show, or in preparation for the Thanksgiving baskets or the making and remaking of toys for unfortunate ones. As senior sponsor, Miss Puelicher directed the commencement festivities. This year the honor study halls were inaugurated, and the success of this project is due in a .large measure to the work of their adviser, Miss Puelicher. As head of the English department, she has had her hands full, not only of the numerous executive details, but also in differentiating more completely between the work of the x, y, and Z sections. But in spite of her numerous interests, she was primarily a teacher. Students looked forward with eagerness to her English classes and felt rewarded for the work which they had done. 9
